Life|ware™ brings your digital entertainment together with home automation in Media Center-your music, TV, home videos, digital pictures and more, available with your thermostats, lighting, audio system, security system and surveillance cameras-all at the touch of a button, from anywhere in your home.

Do More with Life|ware™


Life|ware™ is groundbreaking software from Exceptional Innovation that allows you to seamlessly merge control of your home with your world of digital entertainment.

All of Your Digital Entertainment...


By simply integrating Life|ware into Microsoft Windows Media Center, you can build and manage a music collection, enjoy slideshows of your digital photos, schedule and record your favorite television programs, call up your home videos and watch DVDs.

...and Complete Home Control


You also can control your home's lighting system, thermostats and security systems, distribute music throughout the house, enact homeowner-defined Life|scenes™ and share media across your entire network. And you can do it all with the same remote control — the same six buttons — and the same famously graceful look, navigation and functionality of Media Center.

Everywhere in Your Home


What's more, Life|ware lets you enjoy the experience anywhere and everywhere — through your TV with a Media Center PC, Media Center Extender or Xbox 360™, from your home or office PC or notebook, or from a Life|point™ touch screen.

It's the power of digital entertainment and the convenience of home control at your fingertips. Life|ware lets you do more.
